What is an Online Keyboard?

An online keyboard is a software that allows users to type characters. Normally an online keyboard provides on screen keyboards with clickable buttons to type characters. In this case, the typing is done using a mouse or a finger on touch screens.

An online keyboard can also use a physical keyboard to type characters. For example, you can use an English keyboard to type Russian characters and the virtual keyboard software automatically converts the English letters to that of Russian.
